Silver Falls State Park looks just as magical in the winter with its rich green moss covering.
The 7.2-mile hike will take you to all ten of the waterfalls, or you can break the hike up into smaller ones to enjoy a few of the most storied waterfalls.
South Falls is one of the most spectacular of the bunch. Walk behind the waterfall to experience what a 177-foot curtain of water looks like from the other side.
If you like walking behind waterfalls, you are in luck here. Four of the ten waterfalls allow you to travel behind them for an experience unlike any other.
Silver Falls State Park is located 20 miles East-Southeast of Salem in Silverton. Pets are not allowed on any of the trails so leave your dog at home for this one.
